I remember my grandparents' old Ford LTD with the same kind of up/down locks. Good times. =)
Love my C, though. Harmon Kardon && Yo Yo-ma == pure bliss.

2012 C250 Coupe
My brother's mustang gt on the other hand, has 260hp, is older, and stock. No doubt by now he has compression losses form original estimates. He also didn't have a perfect launch, he had a bit of wheel spin in the beginning which allowed me to take and keep the lead until about 80mph as I mentioned.
However, after bumping up my JB tune to 100% levels, intake, and non-restrictive exhaust, I plan on re-racing my brother's GT and continuing until he is satisfied with his launch and will report on results.

'08 Mercedes C300
The door pins snap into place on the rear doors, so a tug (trying to pull them to unlock the door) is enough to rip them out. The front doors require twisting to remove them.
I've had it happen to me twice. Once where my friend actually just tossed it on the floor because he was too shocked to tell me that he broke my expensive Mercedes door pin

my wife bananas! :D
funny thread guys 
the look, sound, feel, and the M156 engine are reasons why I decided to spring for a C63 over a C300. Although one thing you guys should be happy about is the $$ saved for gas. my thirsty C63 and 3-4k kms per month is a very expensive combo lol.
but the wallet pain is instantly gone when I hear the exhaust note

I remember back in 2010 when me and my x got a C63 (w/ P030) we went thru 5 full tanks in the first week.

If they were removing them on purpose then they can have fun walking

Thanks for the compliments. But I don't really understand why you don't see it happening or think I would lie about it. The genesis coupe only had 210hp at the crank, with the C250 coupe having 201 at the crank, and roughly the same curb weight. Between drivetrain losses, my intake and tune, its easily possible to take the Genesis Coupe over...

'08 C300 Lux Barolo Red Beige Leather P2 MM 18" wheels '84 944
It just so happens I got a deal out of this and online it says 226hp so i thought that was respectable. Did not expect this to be THIS slow, and the main thing for me is there is barely anything to mod for the engine, all mods minus an FI kit give MINIMAL gains. Seriously if I knew I definitely would not have purchased it. FML but i admit it looks really good for the price

When I
1. recall I wrote a big $$$ check and handed it over to this finance person with my wet hands;
2. very carefully park it in a public lot to avoid being too close to any other cars;
3. set the cruise control which is different from my other Japanese SUVs;
4. sit so low compared to my SUVs;
5. remember to fill in with premium gas, not regular gas;
6. see the C300 on the trunk lid (isn't that obvious?)
